Fleetwood Mac has earned a spot in the Library of Congress‘ National Recording Registry with its iconic, Grammy-Award-winning 1977 album Rumours. Each year, the Registry honors 25 culturally, historically or aesthetically significant recordings.
Rumours — the band’s infamous breakup album — includes some of pop music’s most recognizable tunes of all time, including “Dreams,” “Go Your Own Way,” and “You Make Loving Fun.” The album continues to sell well after all these years, with upwards of 40 million in total sales.
